More Marchesa

It has been a couple of months since I have shown any closet love, so in connection with yesterday's post on Marchesa, here are a few shots of co-founder and designer, Georgina Chapman's elegant dressing room from Harper's Bazaar.

Chapman named her company after the wild Italian Marchesa Luisa Casati (1881-1957) who was known for going naked under her coats and wearing live snakes as jewelry.

A sheepskin rug, Lucite stool, and a sparkly chandelier dress up an otherwise basic, white laminate shelving system in one of her three closets. Must be nice to be the new Mrs. Weinstein!

wow -- my dream vanity and of course the closet, and can we talk about that dress in the first image (I'm just a tad envious)...so sleek and clean and feminie, whites and silvers -- it's fantastic!- Jessie -
